StreetChange is a mobile crowdfunding application that leverages the power of small donations to provide real help to people that need it the most: street homeless neighbors with short-term needs. Through iOS and Android apps you can contribute to necessities like socks, shoes, and raincoats requested by StreetChange clients who meet with a caseworker to discuss healthcare and housing options when picking up their goods. Look at their profiles to learn a little more about everyone enrolled in the program, see which items they need, and how much money is left to contribute. Through Bluetooth beacons given to our clients, you can even see if there's anyone who needs something nearby.

Our Team

Andrew Siegel | Founding Director

Andrew is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. In 2013 while walking home from work one evening, a homeless man at a busy intersection asked him for money. Feeling powerless to help in any meaningful way, he began to dream up a solution, one that would not only allow him to contribute to the short term needs of the homeless panhandler, but would simultaneously support that individual's path to stable housing.
